Mental models. Dynamic complexity
The purpose of the module is to understand how systemic effects are manifested in your company and to identify the root causes of the current state of your company:
· Why there are problems in the organization and what needs to be done to get rid of them.
· What are the reasons for success in your company and what will make it possible to repeat this success.
o Mental models and prejudices as a system-forming factor of the organization: a common language in the organization as a way to communicate effectively and achieve greater results.
o Working with own destructive prejudices that prevent the manager and the system in general from moving forward.
o Identification of systemic effects in own systems — growth limitations, accumulation, delays, and others; their application when setting management tasks.
o Working with system archetypes — causal structures that describe and explain non-linear and counter-intuitive behaviour of systems.
o Biological system ‘Human.’ Burnout as an example of systemic effects.
o Theory of constraints: the sum of local improvements does not equal to the overall improvement — and how to deal with this.
